ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 64
Abby How badly I wanted to turn and warn Sarah to mind her business and stay the hell away from my business. She was not just acting all familiar with me but now, she was making me mad. I was already having enough on my plate that I wanted to keep busy with and yet, here she was adding salt to injury with her assumptions that were doing me no good. It was his own choice to want to do anything before them but right now, I was feeling hurt. I had to still pretend on top of all that pain like I could not feel anything. Like I was immune and it was not easy. I craved a distraction. I needed space and I knew walking away from her right now might seem like the best thing to do but it was definitely going to raise questions. I had to look at her and smile simply without saying anything and from her look, I could tell she had been expecting that I would contribute to her theories.Darling, you are clearly used to talking about people and I could understand that but it was not my thing. I had

Lucas I drove myself to the police station and the moment I arrived, they did recognise me. That actually got me thinking and wondering about the ones from last night. They should have recognised me, right? Or were they going to say it was because of the night or something? I was really confused as to what had happened but that would not matter. Their superior would hear of their great job done at catching the criminal me. I went up to one of them and demanded that I be allowed to make a direct statement. The young woman was worried about how she looked and I knew she must have known something. I told her if there was a problem and she said not to that as well before she asked who I would be lodging the complaint against, I told her right there that it was the police. The fear in her eyes was so open at this point and I knew she had heard that I would be coming. That means they did recognise me last night.She started to punch in some keys on her keyboard as she was staring into the

Lucas This was exactly why I always made certain that I brought my A game to every meeting. I had been expecting that he would at some point make a request and the moment I realised that he was new, I understood what he would want. Every chief wanted things to go smoothly while they were in power and anything that would make it seem like they were doing nothing was a problem that needed to be fixed or destroyed. He needed this to go away like it never happened and all was before he would release something I needed. I was going to enjoy talking to this man more than Paul. No offence to the latter but he would push things so far until one starts wondering what his problem was."I take it that's the price of getting me the private investigator, right?" I demanded."Yes, Sir." He responded."You do realize that I could get myself a private investigator elsewhere. Someone who would not make irrational demands, right?" I asked him.He observed me for some time and I could tell what he migh

Lucas"You're a collector?" I asked him as I noticed the number of sculptures and old things. He smiled."Nah. That was my dad. And his dad before him. Archeologists and they sure loved the past. I collect modern things like binoculars, telescopes and stuff. Including cameras." He said to me,The way he said cameras made me start wondering if he knew that I had been observing his own. Nevertheless, I let this strange man lead me inside. There was a lovely dog on his couch and he had it get off as we entered."He's lovely." I noted."Yeah. You know we two had been watching you from the inside and I knew no one really enjoys coming to pay me a courtesy visit. I figured you might be lost at first but no way any lost person makes that number of turns and this was while I was hoping to take a nap. But then, you arrived and paged me, so I had to play along while scanning you. Your details popped up after you had arrived. Just in case you're wondering how I knew your name." He said to me an

Abby I would never say that I understood fully how my luck works but then it was clearly running out. I could not tell if this was a save or I was going from bad to worse. But then I thought about it. Staying here with Sarah and her gossips would seem fun to some other girls but to me, it was almost as if I was being suffocated. She had her own way of trying to be in the know of every single thing around a person and that was definitely something I was not willing to deal with. I wanted my own space and wondered now if that was too much to ask for. I already had a best friend and it took me time warming up to her yet, she was genuine in all accounts. She just wanted to be friends with me and kept trying her very best to win me over with sincerity. I would say it was that which got me really impressed so much that I decided to settle for her. This was the contrast with Sarah. Anyone would see a kind gesture and an arm of friendship but all I could see was a desperate woman who felt sh

Abby "Having fun?" Jack asked me.It has been fifteen minutes since we arrived here and while we were waiting for our time to be invited inside, we decided to play a little. It has been a long time since I touched one of these and the last time was with Mike. It was not a good memory actually because I recall how I had noticed that he went missing after sometime and then I caught sight of him coming out of a room with a lady. She was a worker there and her hair was undone. Anyone would have told me that I was over imagining things and I decided to shut up about it but the thought of it never actually left my mind. From the way I had seen it, he cheated on me. However, there was Taylor with the whole story of giving him a benefit of doubt. She thought that I just needed to learn to trust but what trust would there be after I caught him with the same lady a few weeks later. It was part of what led to our breakup. So right now, I could not tell at first if I was having fun or not. But t

AbbyJack and I got back and he was already telling the supervisor how I had been a tremendous help to the deals and he was so proud that I was with him. I was shocked. I told her that he did everything and I had been a mere spectator when he chuckled before making a joke that I was just being modest. I could not really understand why he was making me out to be something I definitely was not and was not prepared for. Nevertheless, the supervisor was glad that I had learnt a thing or two. Before she said it, I could already tell from her face that something was wrong. Luckily, she waited until Jack was gone before telling me."He wants to see you in the office. He's pretty vexed, so try not to argue when you get there. He asks where you have been, tell him honestly and on your way, take deep breaths." She said to me,I always did say after all that she had this motherly instinct about her that I admired. I thanked her and then started going towards his office. As soon as I was about to

Lucas Anyone could argue that I was beginning to act like a total wuss and I would definitely agree because this definitely was not me. I have always hated having to be jealous of people and right now, I was not feeling it at all. I had to sit back here and wait while the woman I wanted was with a man that I hated around her. I know it was definitely almost impossible to have him away from her permanently but I had to admit that the thought of them being even within inches of each other pissed me off. Jack was a predator and always had been. It was in his eyes. Call me obnoxious but I used to have that look before when I was much younger. It was the looks young men used to give off when they had a game and no way would my Abigail be a game to anyone. Sitting on my seat and all I could think of at the moment was coming up with a plan that would not totally flop in my face when I present it and of course, follow it through. My phone buzzed again but I was in no mood to speak to Lucin

Lucas It was finally time. I mean, Lucinda believed that she could use the press against me as a weapon and I would sit back and watch. It was finally time to play the same game as her. I was already a rejuvenated man at this point when I realised that all along when I had been scared, Gavin was actually rooting for us. It felt really great that he was not fighting me for his daughter's attention and somehow, I was beginning to feel like I owed him much. At first, it was really hard to believe and I wanted to tell him to come clean on what he was planning on doing to me but I simply kept my mouth shut. It would be best to dwell on his current promise after all.I arrived at the venue for the conference and as soon as members of the press caught sight of me, they were already rushing towards me with a lot of questions spewing from their lips. I was intrigued at the moment with how desperate for information they all were but I made my way inside without saying a single word to them. As

Abigail I should have known that my father would react this way. I mean, what was I expecting? That he would stay silent and ignore me all through without any back up plan? Of course he was going to come over and I had been totally vulnerable at this point.Lucas was pretty much calm that I had not been expecting this sort of reaction from him. He was being respectful to my father in such a way that I was wondering if he would win the old stubborn man over. I have always had my way with my father being paved clearly for me because I was either throwing a tantrum or I was fighting against him. And that was the exact strategy I had been looking forward to sporting. Tormenting him until he had no other options but to give in had been my go to plan and I did not care one bit about anything else.I wanted to ask Lucas to stop but now he has mentioned Lucinda and my father was demanding to know if he had thrown me to her."Of course not, dad. Actually...." Just then, the doorbell rang and

Lucas It was beginning to show down that everything was going in different directions. I had not anticipated that Gavin would find out about us in this way as it would have been a more respectful approach when he was all healed and stuff. Right now, we had to make this decision because it would have been worse if he had to find this out through other means. He was obviously pissed at the moment as we kept trying his number until then, we gave up. I actually asked Abigail to stop because it was not working."Do you think I shouldn't have mentioned it to him?" She asked me."Well, there's no point dwelling in the past. You said that you're ready to fight for us and so am I. How about we figure a way out of this mess together?" I asked her."But what if he hurts himself?" She asked me."Hurt himself, that's not the kind of person Gavin is. He would probably be thinking of how to cut my balls and feed them to his pets. I know that for certain." I said to her and she smiled. Obviously, sh

Abby I was shocked. I had come home with pains and a heavy heart. Seriously I wanted to go drink myself to stupor but I did not have the strength. Lucas had left the office and I came home after work. My phone was ringing over and over again from Taylor and I was in no mood to speak to her. All I could do was keep crying in my room alone because I had a feeling that he was with her. From time to time, I would pick up my phone just to check and see if there was anything from him and her. Maybe I had been partially thinking they would finally decide to make it true and open to everyone that they were sleeping with each other. I just wished this was all a bad dream that I would wake up from but pinching myself and I realised that it was the real deal. I had successfully lost him to the arms of his ex lover and I would learn to live with the pain of the moment we shared.I was wondering who it was that was knocking on my door and a part of me wished he was the one. I wanted to see the lo
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 89
LucasI never would have expected in my entire life that I would be this shocked. I had gone there with the clear reasons that I was going to confront her and try getting her to rebuff everything so far. I mean, she had done nothing in the line of denying what was in the news and I was not finding it amusing at this point. So, I just sought to reach an agreement or something when she suddenly mentioned Abigail's name. I stopped for something as I had watched her while she was sleeping with triumph. She knew that she clearly had me by the jugular at this point and by the scruff of my neck which was a bad moment.I thought about the best way to get her off my back and decided to play with her."What are you saying? I'm here for us to discuss your little stunt." I said to her,She suddenly erupted into an annoying laugh that had me provoked."My little stunt you say? Come on now, Lucas. I had never thought of you to be petty as well as crazy. That's her name, the bimbo who you were defen

LucindaIt was time to get ready and my entire apartment was crawling with fashion designers. I had excused myself to shower before coming out to sit down for my hair to get made. I was asked if I had any style in mind but there was actually nothing. I simply wanted the best look that they had to offer. If I was going to make a debut, I was going to look lol. I had never been through hell while doing it. Jarvis on the other hand was really occupied with taking calls and she spoke now with so much authority as I could hear her declining some and leaving others on hold. Each time our gazes met, she would give a thumbs up to me and I would return a smile to her.She was right about one thing, we were back. No, I was the star here and it was my controversy that was the star of the whole show which means she needed me more than I did her. I sat down there and then one of them brought me a catalogue from which I could pick my hair. I did not have the time or energy for such things."Listen,
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 87
Lucinda Well I was in the mood at this point. To think that Lucas would ever embarrass me because of that nobody was something I never thought in my wildest dreams would happen. And I saw that look in his eyes. This was the look of a man in love and was not willing to leave that woman. He looked like he could actually kill me while he had been defending her and she had looked at him as I would my very first highschool boyfriend. Now, this was becoming clear that it was no longer a coincidence. I had met him the other day at his office and he was talking to her. The same girl was coming out of his office another day and I was beginning to piece it all little by little. Who on earth was this lady that had this side of him coming out. He was never this protective of me but I could identify when a man was guarding his own and I realised that I had a contender for his attention.I had seen the girl and I already knew she was very young which means that she would bow to pressure but I was
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 86
Lucas I could not believe my ears as she spoke to me. Apparently, we might have fooled everyone else but she could tell there was a sort of chemistry between us. She had not been certain but when she had mentioned that Abigail had been led away by Lucinda, the hurry with which I had gotten up was faster than usual. I could have made a call that the security escorts Lucinda out but I went there and took care of it myself. She also mentioned Jack and how I kept questioning her about anything that would bring him close to Abigail. In her own words, it was like a wolf guarding its own and I was stunned. All my efforts at keeping things discreet were beginning to fade away and I was only lucky she said everyone else thought that I hated her. That was a plus as it was bad enough that I had myself wrapped in a scandal but having to drag her into another that would complicate things for her was not something I wanted to deal with."But you said that I was treating her too badly. I mean, you
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 85
Lucas There was no best way to explain this to her that she would pay attention to. She was angry and she probably hated me so much that I could not even get through to her. I was observing her as she spoke, she had a rather deeply rooted pain in her and the thought of me being the reason for her pain really hurt. Just a few hours ago, I had been making promises to her and I meant everything I said. I had been ready to come clean with Gavin on how I felt about his daughter but seeing her right now and how angry she was, I started to take a pause. I knew it would be nearly impossible to break through and I would have to figure out a way.There was however one thing that I knew I had to do and that was make this right. I could either do that or convince Abigail that this was all a set up. I watched as she walked away angrily but then returned to take her glasses when I tried to bring her in for a kiss. Not because I was making light of her emotions but I had seen such situations on the
